Debian 10 creating /dev/srn device node for SCSI magneto-optical disk drive instead of /dev/sdn

I'm attempting to do raw reads of an old magneto-optical disk in Debian 10 (I can do this in Windows without issues) I was expecting linux to add the disk as /dev/hd*n* or /dev/sd*n*, but it appears to be seeing it as a cdrom (/dev/sr*n*). Here's the relevant lines from dmesg: [ 22.112062] scsi host33: Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0 aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs [ 37.472036] scsi host36: Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0 aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs [ 38.764112] scsi 36:0:5:0: WORM LMS LD 1200E SCSI 0183 PQ: 0 ANSI: 1 [ 38.780029] scsi target36:0:5: Beginning Domain Validation [ 38.801822] scsi target36:0:5: Ending Domain Validation [ 41.134286] sr 36:0:5:0: [sr1] scsi-1 drive [ 41.134456] sr 36:0:5:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr1 [ 41.134516] sr 36:0:5:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 4 [ 41.178402] sr 36:0:5:0: [sr1] unsupported sector size 1024. [ 41.312627] PM: Image not found (code -22) when I attempt to read from /dev/sr1 using dd bs=1024 if=/dev/sr1 I get 0 records; presumably because /dev/sr1 doesn't accept a 1024 byte block size, but I know that is what the M/O disk is using. Incidentally, cat /proc/scsi/scsi results in: Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: VMware Model: Virtual disk Rev: 2.0 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 06 Host: scsi2 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: NECVMWar Model: VMware SATA CD00 Rev: 1.00 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 05 Host: scsi36 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00 Vendor: LMS Model: LD 1200E SCSI Rev: 0183 Type: WORM ANSI SCSI revision: 01 is there a way to make linux create a /dev/sd*n* device file for it rather than a /dev/sr*n*?
